Console Creatures writes, "Eternal Strands begins with a bang and does its best to keep you engaged through its 40-hour campaign. The inspirations the new IP pulls from are wonderfully celebrated and elevate them as few others have."
Eternal Strands is a fantastic amalgam of some of gaming's great brought together for a new and rich experience that still stands on its own two feet, acting as more of a celebration of its inspirations rather than an imitation.
Great characters and a sprawling mystery aim to bring a new world to life in this RPG from legendary developers
VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "Eternal Strands feels more exciting than expected. Like our plucky protagonist, Yellow Brick Games went headfirst in clambering up the great industry titans to catch our attention. There are certainly some pitfalls along the way – individual design faults tempting anyone to shake the project off altogether – and its story isn't the next Tolkien. But what keeps interest going comes back to those nuances: the intuitive crafting system, the experimentation of Brynn's magical abilities, and the small unique emergent stories of your own borne out of triumphs or mishaps. That doesn't necessarily make this freshman effort a new giant in the genre, but a sub-boss can be an imposing force all the same."
